Rochester Alliance of Theatre Students proudly present Chicago as their Fall musical, November 17-20, 2016. Set in Prohibition-era Chicago, the story is a satire on corruption in the administration of criminal justice and the concept of the "celebrity criminal." Nightclub sensation Velma murders her philandering husband, but she's got Chicago's slickest lawyer, Billy Flynn, set to defend her. However, when Roxie Hart also winds up in prison for murder, Billy takes on her case as well -- turning her into a media circus of headlines.  ​Neither woman will be outdone in their fight against each other and the public for fame and celebrity.  This production is rated PG-13.

Showtimes are as follows: Thursday, Friday & Saturday @7:00pm, Saturday Matinee @2:00pm, Sunday @4:00pm.
Tickets are on sale now!  For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit the R.A.T.S. web page: www.ratstheatre.org

Please note: The Performing Arts wing is currently under construction, but the Auditorium is OPEN.  Please park in the north lots (adjacent to Walton Blvd.) and enter the building through the main entrance.
